Definitions

  • This invention relates to presses. More particularly, this invention relates to a press including an easily removable and interchangeable expandable solid buck, and a cooperating pressing plate configured for coaction with the buck to provide a continuous press of a garment even when the buck is in its expanded position.
  • the entire press may be configured as a collapsible wall unit or as a free standing floor unit.
  • a garment such as a man's shirt, is typically at least partially buttoned and threaded over the rotatable buck.
  • the buck is then expanded so as to occupy the full girth of the garment.
  • the pressing plate then coacts with the buck to press the garment.
  • Expandable bucks are known which are pneumatically inflated. Such bucks, found on commercial pressing equipment, require complex pneumatic supplies and generally do not have the simplicity of appliance herein disclosed.
  • This invention is directed to presses and more particularly to a press of relatively simplified design such as can be easily configured as a collapsible wall unit suitable for domestic, as well as small commercial use.
  • the press incorporates two easily interchangeable bucks, each of which may cooperate with a single pressing plate.
  • One of the bucks includes a pair of scissor like arms which, when pivoted open, can receive the sleeves of a shirt, for instance. When closed they can receive larger portions of a garment such as the yoke of a dress.
  • the other buck includes a relatively thick central portion with a pair of thinner expansion plates which telescope into the thicker central portion. Because of the different thicknesses of the expandable buck there is, of course, an uneven surface.
  • This unevenness is compensated for by including a cooperating heated plate having a recess corresponding to the difference in thickness.
  • the recessed portion of the pressing plate is selected to be sufficiently wide to fully receive the scissor like buck even when it is in its open position. It is also sufficiently wide to just receive the central portion of the expandable buck.
  • the pressing plate need not be the full length of the cooperating bucks, but rather may be significantly smaller but moveable to different positions along the bucks whereby significant reduction can be made in the power requirement for its heating elements.
  • the press P as shown here may be either wall mounted or floor mounted. Legs 9 are shown with their bottoms on a floor and their backs adjacent a wall. As will be understood, if wall mounting is desired, the legs need not extend to the floor. Alternatively, if floor mounting is desired the legs need not be adjacent a wall. As shown in FIGURES 1 and 2A, the press P in the collapsed position may fit flush with a wall. In the collapsed position, the various parts including a bracket A, buck B and pressing plate L are all disposed between the legs 9.
  • the legs 9 support pivoting arms 10 on the top thereof at pivot joints 14. Pivots 14, with conventional locking means, permit arms 10 to move outwardly and look at an angle of about 45°. At this angle, all further movement between arms 10 and legs 9 cease. At this position the pressing plate L and the buck B are sufficiently spaced from the wall so that they can be freely manipulated to positions as illustrated in FIGURES 4 and 5.
  • Arms 10, at their upper end, include pivot joints 11 which serve two purposes.
  • the joints support the bracket A bridging the two arms 10.
  • Bracket A is rotatable about the joints 11 but is lockable at a position as shown in FIGURES 3, 4 and 5.
  • Bracket A is the support point for buck B.
  • Second, the same joints 11 rotatably support arms 12.
  • One end of the arms 12 are pivoted about joints 11 for rotation to selected positions while joints 20 at the other end of the arms 12 support the pressing plate L for both slidable and limited rotatable motion.
  • buck B includes a central major longitudinally extending member 22.
  • Member 22 extends along a longitudinal axis 21 away from bracket A.
  • Member 22 is held in bracket A in such a manner that it may be easily attached to or removed from the bracket.
  • bracket A while attached to the bracket it should, upon application of manual force, be rotatable about its axis 21 but retains its rotational position when no such force is applied.
  • One such manner of supporting the member 22 on the bracket A is to include a bore 23 in the bracket A and a corresponding stud 24 on the member 22. The dimensions of the bore 23 and stud 24 and/or their materials may be chosen to provide the aforementioned fit.
  • the buck B is easily placed in position or removed from the bracket A and is rotatable about its axis 21 so that either of its broad faces may be positioned upwardly.
  • the buck B also includes two side members 30 and 32 which are retained in telescoping relationship in slots 34 and 36 configured in the respective side edges 38 and 40 of member 22. If desired, the side members may be resiliently urged outward by means of springs 41. It will be noted that the difference in thickness between the member 22 on the one hand, and the side members 30 and 32 on the other, causes the surface of the overall buck B to be uneven at the side edges 38 and 40 of the central member 22.
  • the pressing plate L In order to diminish the effect of the buck's uneven surface, the pressing plate L, as seen in FIGURES 3 and 4, has three major pressing surfaces.
  • a first surface 42 corresponding to the surface of the central member 22 is configured centrally of the pressing plate L.
  • the pressing plate L also includes a pair of side pressing surfaces 50 and 52 corresponding to surfaces of the telescoping side members 30 and 32.
  • a scissors type buck B′ is illustrated.
  • Paired triangular arm members 60 and 61 are illustrated. These members are rotatable about their respective pivots 62 and 63 towards and away from one another -- as illustrated by the arrows 64 and 65. These triangular arms have two modes for utility in pressing garments.
  • the arms can be spread apart and one or both can be used together. That is to say, garments such as sleeves, trouser legs, or discrete areas to be pressed can be passed over the triangular shaped arms and pressed. Upon rotating the buck B′ about the axis 21, the opposite side of the garment may be pressed.
  • the dimension of the buck B′ is chosen such that in their spread position the side edges 66 and 67 of the arms will register with the edges 53 and 54 formed between surface 42 and surfaces 50, 52 of the pressing plate L. In such outward spread disposition, it will be understood that a portion of the garment extending around the side edges 66 and 67 will also be pressed.
  • the arms can be closed together as shown in dashed lines B ⁇ .
  • larger areas of garments such as the yoke of a dress may be used.
  • the pressing plate L can then be moved to a position away from the buck, as shown in FIGURES 2F and 5; the buck B rotated 180° about the axis 21 and the operation repeated to complete the pressing of the shirt body.
  • the pressing of the press plate L onto the buck B will be seen to form a continuous pressed surface with respect to the buck. That is to say, even though the buck has been expanded by the telescoping side members 30 and 32 the entire one side of the shirt S is continually pressed.
  • FIGURES 3, 6 and 7 one form of mechanism is shown for maintaining the pressing plate L in a position parallel to the buck B during the pressing operation.
  • a sprocket 75 is positioned at one end and is fixed to prevent rotation relative to the arm 10.
  • Another sprocket 76 is rotatably positioned at the opposite end of the arm 12 and a chain 77 is passed around both sprockets 75 and 76.
  • Fixed to the sprocket 76 is a circular plate 78 having a pair of elongated bosses 79 extending away from the sprocket 76. The entire assembly of sprocket 76, plate 78 and bosses 79 rotate freely about an axle formed by a nut and bolt combination 80.
  • a cup member 82 Disposed about the plate 78 is a cup member 82 having a cylindrical side wall 83 and a back wall member 84.
  • the interior of the cylindrical wall 83 is provided with axial grooves 85.
  • a spline 86 having ridges 87 corresponding to the grooves 85 is disposed within the cup member.
  • the spline 86 includes a pair of detents 88 which correspond in position and shape to the bosses 79 on the plate 78.
  • a compression spring 89 positioned between the back wall 84 and the spline 86 urges the detents 88 into engagement with the bosses 79 when they are in alignment.
  • a retainer ring 90 maintains the relative axial position of the cup member 82 with the plate 78.
  • An elongated slide guide 91 is affixed to the back wall member 84 and it cooperates with a matching groove 92 on the pressing plate L thereby permitting the plate L to be moved between positions L and L′, as shown
  • the disclosed buck and pressing plate is directed here to a convenient in the home appliance.
  • the press is floor mounted, it may be employed as a simplified and inexpensive commercial press.
